The Carolina Panthers officially have a heavier financial burden.
As of Monday, the contracts of offensive lineman Austin Corbett and outside linebacker D.J. Wonnum have voided—adding approximately $4.41 million and $825,000, respectively, in dead cap hits for Carolina this upcoming season. Corbett and Wonnum—who will be getting paid by the Panthers in 2026, regardless of who they're playing for—are set to become unrestricted free agents.
Last offseason, the Panthers were able to reach a new one-year pact with Corbett after pushing his void deadline back into March. He ended up appearing in 14 total games in 2025—with starts at left guard (one), center (five) and right guard (five).
Wonnum wrapped up his second campaign in Carolina with 3.0 sacks over 16 contests.
In addition to Corbett and Wonnum, the Panthers are also on the hook for dead money in 2026 to wide receiver Adam Thielen ($3.33 million), defensive lineman Shy Tuttle ($3.22 million), inside linebacker Josey Jewell ($2.33 million) and outside linebacker DJ Johnson ($250,543).
